Russian Pharmaceutical Technologies is developing RPT835, an allosteric inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) for the treatment of FGFR2-expressing tumors. RPT835 has shown potent inhibition of FGF signaling, angiogenesis, and cancer growth in preclinical studies. The company plans to begin a Phase I/II clinical trial of RPT835 in February 2015 in patients with FGFR2-expressing cancers like gastric, breast, endometrial, colorectal, and renal cell carcinoma. If successful, the company will conduct a Phase III trial in 2018 and seek accelerated approval in Russia and other countries.
